“What lies behind us and what lies before
us are tiny matters compared to what lies
within us.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have always loved this quote from Ralph Emerson and tonight i take a few lessons from it.
1. IT'S IN YOU! : The greatness you have always sought is closer to you than you can ever imagine. The unlimited power, talents and all you really want and desire is no where else than within you. You have it in you and when it looks like it's far away, the route is just right within you. Within you lies unused and explored potentials; a vast mine of diamond lie fallow beneath your feet. IT'S IN YOU!
2. Find it . It's in you but most times you have to find it. Dr. Myles Munroe has been credited to say the richest place on earth isn't the gold mine of South Africa but rather the grave yard. This is due to the vast reserves of unexplored and unrefined potentials of men who died before even finding it. You owe God, yourself and your entire generation and even posterity the sole responsibility of finding IT and exploring it.
3. You must unlock IT. Often times our very best is trapped right within us in the cage of idleness or complacency of 'good enough' often times we shut the door of mediocrity on the unexplored genius within us. At times we find it but it's just locked up; we need to unlock the doors that shut off our best expressions and allow good give way to greatness.
4. Release it: At times the vast potentials of ideas and true greatness that lie within is can't just seem to find full expression just because we refuse to let them out. We get so afraid of making a great change; we find safety in playing by the rules and staying in the comfort bay; The greatest events of our lives are usually outside the comfort zone..Like a woman going through the pain of travailing so as to enjoy the gain of prevailing; we need to release the wealth of gifts given to us to impact our world no matter how rough it might initially seem.
5. If it's to be it's up to ME. That is the creed of everyone who is aware and driven. After all has been said and done, It still boils down to us taking action; nothing works itself except it's worked upon. To have certain experiences you just make them happen! We have just ONE single lifetime and if you are not satisfied with it so far; You want to go to work right
away because all you need to begin the process is right in you! so whether you think you can or can't you are always right. IT' S UP TO YOU!
1. GOD IS ABLE: I understand that God is unlimited in His ability: God's might is unlimited. He is able to do the impossible and extra
ordinary.
2. GOD CANNOT BE STRANDED: No matter what God cannot and will never be stranded. At times He shows up at the 11th hour, but
He is never late. He likes to show when you think all hope is lost.
3: God is ABle to do whatever he says he will do
3. God's Ability must find expression through us:We are the carrier for God's wonderddul abilities, the media through which they will find full expression.
1. My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.
2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go.
3. My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning . . . that was our office.
4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face.
5. My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spent.
6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman, the pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and that means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman.
7. My son, now that you’re married, if you live a bachelor kind of life with your wife, you will soon be single again.
8. My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests, there are hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely.
9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did meet your mother could be your eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other.
10. My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of spending on those tiny legs that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you all along.
11. My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mother father’s house, to call her out, it was not for sex, it was because I missed her so much.
12. My son, remember, when you say your wife has changed, there could be something you’ve stopped doing too.
13. My son, your mother, Asake rode the bicycle with me before I bought that tortoise car outside there, any woman that won’t endure with you in your little beginning should not enjoy your riches.
14. My son, don’t compare your wife to any woman, there are ways she’s enduring you too and has she ever compared you to any man?
15. My son, there is this thing you people call feminism, well, if a woman claim to have equal right with you in the house, divide all the bills into two equal parts, take one part and ask her to start paying the other part.
16. My son, I met your mother a virgin and I took more yams to her father, if you don’t meet your wife a virgin, don’t blame her, what I didn’t tell you is that our women had prestige.
17. My son, I didn’t send your sisters to school because I was foolish like many to think a female child won’t extend my family name, please don’t make that mistake, the kind of female achievers I see nowadays has made the male-gender an ordinary tag.
18. My son, your mother have once locked up the cloth I was wearing and almost tore it because she was angry, I did not raise my hand to beat her because of a day like this, so that I can be proud to tell you that I never for once beat your mother.
19. My son, in our days, our women had more of natural beauty, though I wouldn’t lie to you, some had minor painting of their appellation mostly on their arms, the ones you people now call tattoo, but don’t forget that they didn’t expose any part of their body like your women of nowadays.
20. My son, your mother and I are not interested in what happens in your marriage, try to handle issues without always coming to us.
21. My son, remember I bought your mother’s first sewing machine for her, help your wife achieve her dreams just as you’re pursuing yours.
22. My son, don’t stop taking care of me and your mother, it’s a secret of growing old and having children to take care of you too.
23. My son, pray with your family, there is a tomorrow you don’t know, talk to God that knows everything, everyday.

God wants to take you to levels higher than you’ve ever been before.
When you begin to understand the levels of favor, opportunity, influence, promotion, health and creativity God has for you, you’ll never be the same.
Obstacles won’t intimidate you. Naysayers won’t discourage you. Limitations won’t hold you back.
No matter what the circumstances around you look like, I want you to get this down in your spirit today...
God wants to bless you in every area of your life! You aren’t called to barely get by. You weren’t created to struggle through each day, barely paying bills, frustrated at work, unhappy at home.
As a child of Almighty God, you are a joint-heir with Christ Jesus. Every good and perfect gift from the Father is available to you.
Success is your birthright!
That means that every setback is temporary. Every roadblock is artificial. Every limitation can be overcome.
I want to encourage you that we serve a God who strategically orders our steps. He is not random — He is precise and accurate.
God has already laid out His good plan for your life... down to the smallest detail.
Just as God will strategically use good breaks, promotions and the right people, God can also use adversities, disappointments and closed doors to move you toward your destiny. It might seem difficult right now, but if you’ll keep moving forward, one day you will see how God can use it for your ultimate success.
You may never know why you’re going through a challenging time, but you can come back to this core truth that God knows what He is doing. His plan for your life is better than you can imagine.
God is bringing you to a place of
unprecedented success.
Make this declaration a part of your daily life:
I am blessed for success. I am in it to win it. I will not let what somebody said about me, this rejection, this breakup, this closed door, this disappointment, or this sickness cause me to get sour. God strategically placed me here. I will succeed because God is for me, and He will provide everything I need.
Victoria and I are so grateful for you, and we are so excited about the blessings and favor God has in store for you.
Remember, God has a great plan for your life and He will never leave you or forsake you. He wants to make you an example of His goodness!

I passed through the day like a student and a learner. Indeed, it is a great day.
1. When you send a message to the universe, it is sent back to you like wise. I wrote extensively on this in an article titled LAW OF ECHO. it's a universal law. i sent some tweets out earlier and i got lovely retweets and some feelings of "kindred spirit"
2.GRATITUDE IS A GREAT ATTITUDE: I had just finished a 30day Gratitude writing /blogging challege and i must say I have been bit by the gratitude bug. i am beginning to appreciate and apply the power of the two words THANK YOU. And today i sent a tweet to my different mentors who have positively touched me ad continue to do on different ways. Also i want to say THANK YOU for reading this right now and THANK YOU if you eventually drop a comment. *smiles*
3. ALWAYS SHOW UP NO MATTER WHAT: I had made calls earlier in the week to arrange an appointment for today with a VIP who I have been trying to meet but has never showed up, and my imperfect self did blew it today by not showing up and my guest showed up! . I am thankful though to our team who still took care of presentations. No Excuse! I did follow up with a phone call and rescheduled a return visit. I will always show up; no matter what..so help me God (to also help myself)
4. REACH OUT TO FRIENDS : It's a busy world and fast-paced. It's no excuse for not keeping tabs on business but it's like good enough reason for some of us not to reach out to friends. Not me... or at least I try to reach out to people once in a while. I am a people person and in the people business. So all my friends are important to me . INCLUDING YOU! I MEAN IT. reach out to your friends, even some who do not reciprocate, at least for a while but avoid the unrepentant pessimist and negative folks as much as possible.
5. I FOLLOW THE LESSONS: I Spent a great deal of time today on tweeter yeah! i confess... I read an interesting tweets,i acually read many interesting ones, but the infographic read "MANY PEOPLE MISS THE MESSAGE BECAUSE THEY WERE LOOKING FOR THE MISTAKES" Stop looking at the mistakes, follow the message and get the lessons that.os when you begin to profit from failure and trade it for SUCCESS.
Your "billionaire learner-friend"

1.Make Money: Earn as much money as you possibly can. It should be your goal to make as much money as possible. Sharpen your skills; Enhance yourself. We live in a world of unlimited abundance and abounding opportunities. As a matter of fact, if you look well, you will see money everywhere even on the streets. I mean it!
2. Save; Save and save: Hold on to it as much as you can; it's not how much you earn but how much you keep that makes you financially free. You must learn to save. Save as much as possible till it becomes an habit. Your goal is not to be financially secured but to be financially free; Financial freedom is far from anyone who can not save at least 10% of his income throughout his lifetime. Take baby steps ad then giant strides. Get started now.
3. Manage Money : Reduce your expenses as much as possible. A large percentage of millionaires practice frugality than most middle class folks. if you are in doubt read the Millionaire Next Door, while it is a conservative book on achieving the Millionaire status, it is still resourceful.
4. Multiply your money by channelling your savings to worthwhile and well investigated investments.
According to George Clason in Richest Man in Babylon; Wealth is like a tree that usually grows from a tiny seed. Savings help you accumulate. Investment helps you multiply what you already accumulated. Explore the magic of compound interest; explore different investment vehicle. Your goal is to have your investments earn much more than you earn actively.
5. Leverage: Leverage is doing much more than little. Leverage is like riding the wings of eagles; sitting on the shoulders of giants. Leverage is synergy. Learn the power of partnerships of teams; Synergize! There are different forms of Leverage OPM; Other Peopl's Money; OPE; Other People's Efforts and OPK; Other People's Knowledge. Never be afraid to ask for help you can achieve much more by teaming up pools of resources with other people.
